it has been very busy and tired in band for both practices that i didn't even had the energy to comment on it yesterday,
so here i am!
the physical training, the drills, they all reminded me of band competition days.
those bitter-sweet memories.
and i can gladly announce that, : I AM A SENIOR IN BAND.
i do not know why, but when i am in sec 2 i still do not really feel like a senior.
now, watching the sec 2s and 1s i feel...WHOA!
band competition 2oo8; i am still in a dilemma.
i do want to be the first batch of band members to clinch the gold with honors.
i do want to get into the finals.
i do want to be the first batch since bt and bp band started to get the best band award.
i want.
i want it so.
yet,
there are so many obstacles in our ways.
the journey is tough, we all know it.
we will be in sec 4 then.
the most important year.
"what about our O levels?"
our parents might ask, do we reassure them or fret with them?
i do not know.
furthermore, our O levels will be shifted earlier.
that is the biggest problem.
really, i am selfish.
i am not yet ready to sacrifice my studies for band.
yet, i cannot reassure myself that i have the capability to manage my time well.
i do not have the confidence to juggle my 9 subjects and band competition together.
do i have the ability?
do i have the energy?
can i survive through it?
i do not know.
furthermore, even people around me do not have the confidence that we can achieve it.
i do believe that, when even in the first place, you have the mentality that you are fighting a losing battle, then why enter the battle?
even dear and close friends feels that we couldn't do it.
i still do not know the answers to all of the above posed questions.
yet, i can promise the band something:
i will try my very best in whatever i do in the band.
i will improve on my playing of my trumpet.
i will improve in my marching.
though i am in no leader position, i will try to guide the juniors as well as i can.
i will motivate them and self-motivate myself.
i will go to band practices without any reluctance.
for, though, i have second thoughts about entering the finals, i will not do anything to stop the band from entering.
let's wait and watch to see the destiny of this band.
the band, is just another family, whereby many individuals bond together.
i love this band.
but is this love enough to persevere and endure through all these?
perseverance; endurance; determination.
something i need yet i lacked.
i will be stronger;
i promise.
for, because of this band, i have matured a lot.
